ABOUT Enterprise UAS:
Enterprise UAS (formerly known as Neat Brands) was established in 2015 through a $2 million dollar seed investment from founders Mike Zaya and Sam Nam. Their vision was to create a technology company with a focus on doing good. Founder Mike Zaya saw how UAS technology was being used to save lives, support green energy, and empower smart farming, and decided to invest in commercial UAS. In 2015, Enterprise UAS acquired DSLRPros. DSLRPros was the first dealer to sell a gimbalized FLIR thermal sensor on a DJI drone. This acquisition added a large public safety client base who were using thermal drones to conduct rescue and fire fighting missions. In 2017, Enterprise UAS strategically acquired Dronefly, a Los Angeles based DJI dealer that operated the largest drone repair center in the Western United States. This acquisition added a large team of drone repair technicians to the company. In 2019, Enterprise UAS acquired Aerial Media Pros, a leading DJI Enterprise dealer, further expanding market share in the Southern California market.
